Hebrews 8
Darby Translation
8 Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens;
2 minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.
3 For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.
4 If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,
5 (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in the mountain.)
6 But now he has got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of better promises.
7 For if that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.
8 For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;
9 not according to the covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because *they* did not continue in my covenant, and *I* did not regard them, saith [the] Lord.
10 Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and *they* shall be to me for people.
11 And they shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among them.
12 Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
13 In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.
Hebreos 8
Dios Habla Hoy
Imperfección del culto antiguo
8 Lo más importante de lo que estamos diciendo es que nuestro Sumo sacerdote es de tal naturaleza que se ha sentado en el cielo, a la derecha del trono de Dios, 2 y oficia como sacerdote en el verdadero santuario, el que fue hecho por el Señor y no por los hombres.
3 Todo sumo sacerdote es nombrado para presentar ofrendas y sacrificios, y por eso es necesario que Jesucristo también tenga algo que ofrecer. 4 Si él estuviera en la tierra, ni siquiera sería sacerdote, pues aquí ya hay sacerdotes que presentan las ofrendas mandadas por la ley de Moisés. 5 Pero estos sacerdotes prestan su servicio por medio de cosas que no son más que copias y sombras de lo que hay en el cielo. Y sabemos que son copias porque, cuando Moisés iba a construir el santuario, Dios le dijo: «Pon atención y hazlo todo según el modelo que te mostré en el monte.» 6 Pero nuestro Sumo sacerdote, que ha recibido un ministerio sacerdotal mucho mejor, es mediador de una alianza mejor, basada en mejores promesas.
Imperfección de la primera alianza
7 Si la primera alianza hubiera sido perfecta, no habría sido necesaria una segunda alianza. 8 Pero Dios encontró imperfecta a aquella gente, y dijo:
«El Señor dice: Vendrán días
en que haré una nueva alianza con Israel y con Judá.
9 Esta alianza no será como la que hice con sus antepasados,
cuando los tomé de la mano
para sacarlos de la tierra de Egipto;
y como ellos no cumplieron mi alianza,
yo los abandoné, dice el Señor.
10 La alianza que haré con Israel
después de aquellos días,
será ésta, dice el Señor:
Pondré mis leyes en su mente
y las escribiré en su corazón.
Yo seré su Dios
y ellos serán mi pueblo.
11 Ya no será necesario que unos a otros,
compatriotas o parientes, tengan que instruirse
para que conozcan al Señor,
porque todos me conocerán,
desde el más pequeño hasta el más grande.
12 Yo les perdonaré sus maldades
y no me acordaré más de sus pecados.»
13 Cuando Dios habla de una nueva alianza es porque ha declarado vieja a la primera; y a lo que está viejo y anticuado, poco le falta para desaparecer.
Hebrews 8
New King James Version
The New Priestly Service
8 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, (A)who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of (B)the [a]sanctuary and of (C)the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3 For (D)every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore (E)it is necessary that this One also have something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve (F)the copy and (G)shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, (H)“See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now (I)He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a (J)better covenant, which was established on better promises.
A New Covenant(K)
7 For if that (L)first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: (M)“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (N)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (O)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (P)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (Q)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (R)and their sins [b]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (S)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 8
King James Version
8 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
